Control panel #27

Closed filmenczer closed 3 years ago

filmenczer commented 5 years ago

For non-technical users, such as newsrooms, we would like a more friendly way (compared to CLI) to modify the config file. Idea: a control panel to manage backend settings like domain lists and API keys, on the fly.

We discussed this, and we decided to work toward a simple web interface for quick-install and for changing configuration options. This should work after we have a friendly way to install Hoaxy with Docker.

After discussion, we decided that the main functionality of this improvement is captured by BotSlayer to some extent: it can be used to track links to selected articles specified in the query. although not all links from a domain. Also, giving front-end access to server configuration is ilikely to open security issues. Therefore we are moving this issue to utopia.
